Lasik Problems
what is the difference between lasik and phacoemulsification?
why is one not recommended to do phacoemulsification instead of lasik. that would solve all lens and number problems once and for all
Haai…Lasik and Phaco are two entirely diffrent surgeries. Lasik is done to correct refractory errors like Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism. Phaco is done to remove cataracts. Cataract is a opacification of the natural lens inside the eye. Lasik is done externally on the cornea.
So you cannot alternate lasik and Phaco.

my dad has taken the laser surgey last year…he had an eye sight of almost -9 (both eyes). Now he does not wear glasses at all, laser surgery will last until you die only if your eye sight is constant for atleast 3 years. The minimum age for taking it is about 18 years. Nowadays there is no risk of taking it, you dont have to be worried that ur eyes might hurt or u’ll become blind. If your eyesight is not constant but still u want to take it then, after the treatment there is a chance of gaining sight again.

Overall Traditional Lasik procedures still cost roughly $1,000 to $3000 to complete. If you pay less than $1,000 per eye treated, you may want to question your surgeon and verify his or her credentials. You should also see if there are hidden fees you are not aware of you may have to pay for later. When it comes to your eyes, a first and then a second opinion is best. Don’t choose your surgeon on cost alone.
